  4. What is a Shared Vision? Think-Pair-Share • Reflect Individually • Discuss • Share with a partner

  5. What is a Shared Vision? • Gather input from all stakeholders • Series of meetings and processes to hear everyone’s voice • District, school, and classroom level

  6. An example from Fairview Elementary

  7. The ultimate goal of change is when people see themselves as shareholders with a stake in the success of the system as whole.-Michael Fullan

  8. Shared Vision Defined • A statement created by gathering input from all stakeholders to help our schools be more focused in helping children reach their goals. The goals are written from the focus areas.

  9. Why is it important to have a Shared Vision?

  10. A Process Creating a Shared Vision that reflects all stakeholders • Ask the important questions • Take the time to educate stakeholders • Survey the interest, support and willingness

  11. Important Sample Questions • According to current test scores how are our students doing? • What happens to our students once they leave our K-12 system? • What will students need to know in the 21st century? • If needed, how do we change our current system to meet the needs of all students?

  12. Shared Vision: The Big Ideas • A shared vision is a guide to ongoing work. • It allows us to set goals and monitor progress. • It creates common understandings among stakeholders. • It allows us to see the big picture and focus on continuous improvement.

  14. Systems Alignment • District Shared Vision • School Shared Vision • Classroom Shared Vision

  15. RSU #2’s Shared Vision "The KIDS RSU #2’s staff will seek to ensure the following (adapted for brevity): • All children will master the Maine Learning Results standards • Instruction will be appropriate to each individual student • Students will be seen in their totality • Staff members will self-improve for an improved instructional program for all students • Students learn to cope with change and continuous learning in a technological 21st century society”

  17. What do you need to know to develop a Shared Vision in your school? Wendy Battino/Richard DeLorenzo RISC Foundation

  18. What do you need to know to develop a Shared Vision in the classroom? Wendy Battino/Richard DeLorenzo RISC Foundation

  19. Creating a Shared Vision Example KIDS RSU’s shared vision statement : What skills do our kids need to cope with change and continuously learn for the 21st century? A Brainstorming Technique: Go around your table and every person has the floor to speak

  20. Let’s Go Through the Process for the School/Classroom Vision • Identify group roles: • Facilitator • Recorder • Timekeeper • Reporter • Team Members

  21. Affinity Diagram to create focus areas • At your table, brainstorm how a school would contribute to the District Shared Vision. Use KIDS RSU #2’s as an example. No talking, only writing! • Categorize sticky notes into 5-7 columns • Make headers for each column • Utilize volunteers to report out on the affinity diagram.

  22. Designing Questions Generate questions that align the visions from your district to school, & classrooms): District SV statement: Create learners to cope with change and accept learning as a continuous process in the 21st century. Possible questions: What skills do learners need to cope with change in the 21st century? What skills do teachers need to support students’ learning regarding coping with change? Turn to a partner and discuss 2-3 more questions from other Shared Vision statements

  23. RSU #2’s Shared Vision "The KIDS RSU #2’s staff will seek to ensure the following (adapted for brevity): • All children will master the Maine Learning Results standards • Instruction will be appropriate to each individual student • Students will be seen in their totality • Staff members will self-improve for an improved instructional program for all students • Students learn to cope with change and continuous learning in a technological 21st century society”

  24. Tools to Create a Shared Vision • Tools: • Affinity Diagram with a Power Vote • The Five Whys • Plus/Delta • Consens-o-gram • PDCA template

  25. Examples from other districts and schools

  26. Adams 50’s District Vision • Creating a learner ready for the 21st century • Create a student who has inquiry and a love of learning • Celebrate and embrace our diverse community • Be a lighthouse for other districts

  27. HTH Shared Vision and Focus Areas

  30. D50 works on their Shared Vision

  31. What do you need to know to develop a Code of Conduct from the Shared Vision? Wendy Battino/Richard DeLorenzo RISC Foundation

  32. Code of Conduct for the School • Use the shared vision as a guide • Design questions that will elicit behaviors that will bring shared vision to life • Affinity diagram to brainstorm, sort, and prioritize needs • PDCA on top 3-5 items • Determine your Code of Conduct • Layout processes and procedure

  33. Creating a Code of Conduct from Shared Vision • Use the shared vision as a guide • Design questions that will elicit behaviors that will bring shared vision to life • Affinity diagram to brainstorm, sort, and prioritize needs • PDCA on top 3-5 items • Determine your Code of Conduct • Layout processes and procedure

  34. Questions for the School Code of Conduct • Shared Vision Statement: Building a Community of Safety and Respect • Possible questions: • What does it mean to be safe in the hallway? • What does it mean to be safe in the bathrooms? • What does it mean to be safe on the playground?

  35. Designing Questions to Determine Code of Conduct in the Classroom • What does it look like to work in a whole group? • What does it look like to work with a partner? • What does it look like to work in a small group? • What does it look like to work individually?

  36. Categorize & Prioritize • Affinity Diagram to categorize • Power-voting to prioritize • Using colored dots, vote for your priority areas (Guideline: give a dot for 1/3 of the options) • Each dot represents one vote. You can use all dots on one area, or spread them out • The area with the most dots becomes the first area of focus

  39. Skyline Classroom Shared Vision and Monitoring

  40. Set Goals and Cycle Times • The vision takes time. It isn’t something that you can complete quickly. • Set up times during the day to work on your vision. • The vision is a living document that is kept alive through continuous monitoring and adjusting of the goals.

  41. Code of Conduct in the Classroom • What does it look like when we leave the room during our class period? • What does it look like when we have visitors in the room? • What does it look like when we walk around the room when others are working?
